Evocation: To call out; to summon an entity, spirit, element, force or phenomena to manifest outside the physical and etheric body of the one performing the summons, possibly within the confines of a magickal device created for the purpose of holding or acting as a vehicle for that which is called.
Invocation : To call in; to summon an entity, spirit, element, force or phenomena to manifest within the physical and etheric body of the one performing the summons, as in the manifestation of a Godform or possession by a spirit entity.
Basically, both are used to call upon something, but while evoking calls it near you, invoking calls it into your own body.
As to when to do it, there are many reasons why, and as to how, many different techniques. Each person has to choose the when and how, it's not something that is easily learned.
